Select all ingredients

1/2 kilo of spaghetti
2 spoonfuls of olive oil
2 ounces of bacon
3 cloves of garlic minced
2 eggs big
1 Cup of Parmesan cheese grated
black pepper
parsley minced

Preparation

Prepare the sauce while you are cooking the pasta so that the pasta is very hot and help to cook the sauce.

Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. add the bacon and cook for about 3 minutes, until the bacon is crispy and releases the fat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.

Add the hot drained spaghetti to the pan and mix for 2 minutes to cover the pasta in the fat of the bacon. Beat the eggs and Parmesan cheese in a bowl, stirring well to avoid lumps and add ½ cup of the water in which the pasta was cooked.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the egg mixture to the pasta, beating the eggs quickly until thickened (in doing so out of the fire, avoid the eggs being cooked like scrambled eggs).

Add salt and freshly ground pepper to the pasta and sprinkle parsley.
